High-Capacity Central File Storage (HCS) security

Your High-Capacity Central File Storage (HCS) data is stored in the secure environment of the University of Otago data centres in Dunedin. The ITS Extended Data Centre Services webpage has more information about the data centres.

Multiple 'copies' of changes made to HCS data are kept for up to three months and previous versions of files can be recovered without requiring ITS involvement. All HCS data is scanned by anti-virus software when it is created or updated.
